As I walked into the yellow room this morning, Jen was wrapping up an instructional time. She excitedly asked her kiddos to tell me what they had just learned.
Lauren: Exaggeration!
Beth Ann: Dishes!
Mallory: Competition!
Myah: Uhhhhh....
So what were they learning in the yellow room this morning??
Addition. : )

Welcome to another fun(ny) school year at LEP!
So here it goes...first post of the new school year! And what a great start it has been! We have a super bunch of kids this year. Unique personalities, lots of interests, and...of course...all just as cute as can be! I've already picked out a few who I think may become "blog regulars"!
And now...on to a few cute things from the mouths of our Little Monkeys!
Kyle was on the playground, and by his own choice sitting on the curb.
Ms. Lori: Kyle, are you feeling ok?
Kyle: Not really.
Ms. Lori: What's up?
Kyle: My body hurts.
Ms. Lori: What hurst specifically?
Kyle: Everything...but mostly my throat...and my organs.
*************
As the kindergarten class was lining up to leave for the day, Zachary escaped the room and was out in the hallway where Ms. Sally couldn't see him. Sally has a strict rule, "If my eyes can't see you, I can't keep you safe."
Ms. Sally: Oh Zachary, you need to come right back in the room, please.
Zachary: Why? (add your own whining here)
Ms. Sally: Because if my eyes can't see you, I can't keep you safe.
Zachary: I know, I know...(and then muttering) why does she need to see me? I know where I'm going...Ms. Lori's office. Teachers think they know everything.
**************
It was lunch time, and Satch was serving home made chicken nuggets, which she had coated with panko bread crumbs. When she placed them on Kyle's plate, he said, "Oh, no thanks, Ms. Satch. I don't really care for furry chicken." She explained to him that it was bread crumbs, and that maybe he should try some. After a little coaxing, he tried a bite and said, "YUM! I never knew it, but I guess I DO like furry chicken after all!" The nuggets have now become known as "furry chicken" and are a lunch time favorite!!
***************
Nate is a new addition to our LEP family, and has brought a ton of smiles to my face this year. He also happens to be Ms. Jen's son. He is full of information that is always willing to share! One afternoon, I was sitting up front with the PreK class and we were looking for T words. Nate pointed out that his name is a T word...it's just in a different place. And then went on to give me this oration:
"My name is a T word, Ms. Lori. Just not a front T word. It's a back T word..like this (making the letter sounds) n-ay-t-...and then there's the 'e' but it's silent, and when you have a silent 'e' the first vowel says its own name. See I have these videos at home that teach you to read...and they tell you things like that...and also things like 'when two vowels go walkin' the first does the talkin'"...stuff like that. And THAT is how I know my name is T word. Nate." Everything Nate shares with me is in detail like that...I love it!
****************
Little Leah overheard me telling other children that it was time for Tumblebus and was insistent that she was supposed to be doing it, too! I finally had to call her mommy to check because she was so convincing! "Ms. Lori, I'm supposed to be doing the TumbleButt. I am. My mom signed me up for TumbleButt...she did. Call her." So I did, and her mom said it was fine! Leah's response? "Yay! I love TumbleButt!!!"
****************
Then there are our singers...
*Cameron making up his own words in the shape center to Paprazzi by Gaga...and making it educational! (I've got lots of circles, I've got lots of squares and hearts, too. I've got, I've got blocksies...) Nice!
*Beth singing "Baby I Like It" be Enrique Iglesias while washing her hands for 10 minutes in the bathroom...and watching herself in the mirror!
I know there are a million more stories I could post...and I will! Your kids do and say cute and funny things every day. Check back often for a chuckle or a smile brought to you by the kids of LEP!

Back to the blog...
I've let the blog go for a while, but I think I need to get back to it! I went back and read some of the older posts, and realized that I miss it! So....I'm going to try to update it at least once a week. I hope you'll join me as I start down this path again. It's a great place to find funny stories, cute pictures, and just general goings on at LEP! Check in every now and then...I hope you won't be disappointed!

Is there a class for that???
In the yellow room, the children were making Froot Loop necklaces by stringing Froot Loops onto a pice of yarn. The children were working quietly...and if you've worked with children, you know getting that yarn through that little hole can be a daunting task! After working at it, and finally finishing his necklace, Zachary called for Lynna to tie off the end of his necklace. "Ms. Lynna, a little help here...(one of my favorite Zach-isms) I haven't had a class in tying yet."

Happy 100th Day!
Ms. Sally was explaining to her class that for their 100th day of school, she would like them to dress up like someone who is 100 years old. Ben piped up and said, "Ms. Sally, you won't even have to dress up!"
On 100th day, I went into the Blue room to see how things were going. Riley was doing a numbers activity with a big smile on his face. Knowing how much Riley loves working with numbers, I said to him, "Riley, you are in heaven aren't you?" Tommy looked at me, pointed at Riley and said, "Ms. Lori, Riley didn't die...he's right there."
Happy 100th day Blue Roomers!!

I've got a lot of catching up to do....
It's been a while, and the funnies are piling up! So...here we go!!
Harrison and Clayton playing dollhouse in Ms. Sally's room:
Harrison: The baby's crying.
Clayton: Yeah, it probably wants to eat.
Harrison: Yeah, it wants a bottle.
Clayton: No, it wants to nurse. Have you ever seen those babies latch on?? They can really suck.
Harrison: That's just not right. In fact, that's outrageous!
Learning about Barack Obama in Ms. Sally's room, Alex asked, "Was he alive when there were dinosaurs?"
And talking about cursive writing...
Ms. Sally: As you get older, you will write in cursive. You will learn to write your name in cursive.
Harrison: Ms. Sally, I don't care how old you get, you don't ever curse anyone. And you never curse yourself.
After a particularly good day in the yellow room, Zachary's dad said, "I'm so proud of you! Do you think we should go somewhere special?" Zachary replied, "Yes...and I think it should be somewhere that BOUNCES!" Bounce Zone anyone???
One day in the red room, Kyle had an accident and went to change his clothes. Realizing he didn't have any underwear in his bag, Ms. Carly said, "It's ok, just put your pants on." Kyle responded, "Well, my mom doesn't really like it when I go commando."
Ms. Lynna (pronounced like Renee only with an L) has started teaching in the yellow room...Here are the names she is answering to:
Lemay (Teagan)
Lemonay (Ava)
Renee (Bryce)
Lennamay (Tessa)
Melay (Val)
and (of course) Mindi!
Beth, who was having a cranky day at school didn't take a nap. She got up off her cot and was even more cranky than she had been before. I said to her, "Beth, when you feel cranky, you need sleep. Today would have been a good day for you to nap." Beth looked me right in the eye and said, "Well, maybe today would have been a good day for you to nap, too." And, undoubtedly, she was right!!
